Random blog of my life and times in/around Memphis, TN.
I'm a single, Caucasian male who may or may not get into trouble. I write about the social scene around town, various shows I watch, and whatever I feel like bitching about. Enjoy.

Catchup

What's wrong? Where have I been? Well this will be a "best of" post covering the last few weeks of fun. We'll start out Friday Nov 3. Yeah, that long ago. Jules came back in town from Florida to have a little fun with us. Here's a pic of her and HM at Newby's. The next day I went to the Ole Miss game. Needless to say I had a good time. So did the brother.I drove back that night and despite my lack of energy, I went to the Nudist Colony (TM) for a party. Ok, it's actually DP and AP's house. They just built a new 8 foot fence in the backyard. You can't see over it or through it. And that's why we call it the Nudist Colony. Here a pic of DP trying to get the fire lit with a little kerosene. This was about the third of fourth time he did that so we he walked up with a cup in his hand everyone left their chairs. Sunday I had dinner with Jules again before she left town. She showed me the shiner that her pimp gave her on Friday night after I went home. Unfortunately, that's not what really happened. She had a "blonde moment" and walked into a door. Take a good look at that. Attractive, isn't it? The next week was mostly spent in interviews. Those are boring so I won't talk about that. That Thursday, I went to Miss MySpace's bday party (see post on that). I met a bunch of her friends and had a great time. A few of them were heading down to Enid lake to their cabin/trailer for the weekend to ride four-wheelers in the lake bottoms of Enid. Hmm...I don't think I could turn that down. We left Saturday morning. It was Kevin and Ro who had the trailer, Kristy, Shannon, Shawna, and me. Three four-wheelers and six folks. Perfect. We headed out to Enid lake and started driving around. The water was down from the summer height which left a ton of fresh mud to ride through. Of course it didn't take long until we were stuck. After a while we heard more fourwheelers nearby. Some locals came and pulled us out. They then led us on a tour around the rest of the bottoms showing us the badass jumps and where to cross the "creek." Here is a pic of Shannon and Kristy after they got stuck trying to cross it. Actually I made it across without getting stuck...the first time. It was still a blast.Here is a pic after we crossed it. Unfortunately none of us even thought about bringing waders or hip boots for the day. You can see how soaked my pants were. And we went for another 4 hours in the cold. It was a blast.After we got back to the trailer a few of the locals who lived nearby came to have a beer and hang out with us. They told us about this lake bottom near Grenada where "everyone" goes with their four wheelers and 4x4 trucks to drive in the mud. Guess what, we were in. So Sunday we met up with them and headed towards Grenada. You have no idea how insane it was. If I can ever figure out how to put video on this, I'll post the videos of the trucks going through the mud. These weren't your regular factory trucks. Most every one had been redone. I saw under the hood of one. They had built a custom engine just for driving in this. Most of the better ones had 36 to 40 inch wheels. A lot had exhausts coming through the truck beds. They took the exhaust pipes from Kenworth tracker trailers (18-wheeler cabs) and put them on their trucks piped through the truckbed. It blew my mind. Here is a pic of one.Here is a pic of the crowd at another area. Here is one of the local kids after playing around on his dad's four wheeler. Here are the girls after ridin' dirty. Monday morning I headed back to Memphis. I was going to be on detox because I had been drinking for many days straight. I behaved myself on Monday. I was about to go swim laps on Tuesday when my phone rang. It was a bud and he wanted to know if I wanted to come downtown and catch Journey and Def Leppard in concert. So I said to hell with detox and headed downtown. Great show. I had waaaaaayyyy too much fun. After the show, I ended up at Coyote Ugly and then Ernestine & Hazels. I didn't get home until after 2. Needless to say, I was hurting the next day. This past weekend I went duck hunting. Our blind got 13 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday. And that's about what everyone else has done so far as I've heard. So that's what I've been up to besides going on job interviews. I'll post an upcoming party/concert post in the next day or so.
